we report an unusual case of hemimegalencephaly (hmg) associated with ipsilateral congenital-infiltrating lipomatosis of the face in a five-month-old boy. hemimegalencephaly is a rare but unique malformation characterized by enlargement of all or parts of a cerebral hemisphere. the affected hemisphere may have focal or diffuse neuronal migration defects, with areas of polymicrogyria, pachygyria...

conclusions in the case of existence gaussian noise, the results confirm that denoising is not effective on the measurement of t2* value. in the case of image distortion by rician noise, a predictor model is proposed to estimate the original t2* value. the predictor model is used to estimate the t2* value of new patients. the predicted t2* values were in good agreement with the corresponding or...

Noise is an inherent property of medical imaging, and it generally tends to reduce the image resolution and contrast, thereby reducing the diagnostic value of this imaging modality, there is an emergent attentiveness in using multi-resolution Wavelet filters in a variety of medical imaging applications. We Have review recent wavelet based denoising techniques for medical ultrasound, magnetic re...

case presentation we report a 5-year-old boy, who was presented with sudden right hand monoparesis and dysarthria. conclusions the patient was investigated with magnetic resonance angiography and diagnosed as md. introduction moyamoya disease (md) is a disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain. as the normal blood vessels narrow and become blocked, a person may suffer a strok...

ebstein anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, leading to atrialization of the right ventricle and could be diagnosed in a routine transthoracic echocardiography exam. we reported a young man with right sided heart failure symptoms who was found to have biventricular failure with suspected apical displacement of septal leaflet of tr...

conclusion fs t2 w and ce fs t1 w sequences of axial planes were the most useful sequences in determination of active sacroiliitis. therefore, in patients with renal failure or allergy to contrast media, fs t2 wi can be obtained to detect active sacroiliitis. objectives the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences in evaluat...

conclusion adrenal iron in β-tm can be reliably measured in 3 tesla mri. the results highlight the absence of correlation between adrenal iron deposition both with serum ferritin and hepatic iron. results among patients, there was no significant correlation between plasma ferritin and adrenal t2*. significant difference was detected among t2* values of adrenals between the patient and control g...

introduction: the use of high-cost and high-tech magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has expanded over the past decade. a recently conducted research reported various causes with regard to their own country and healthcare system included aging population and advances in diagnostic technologies which could result in diagnostic services to become more applicable in clinical arena. increasing number ...
